Washington (AFP) - The United States on Thursday announced sweeping new rules requiring coal-fired plants to eliminate nearly all their carbon emissions or commit to shutting down altogether, a keystone of President Joe Biden's agenda to confront the climate crisis.

It comes as Democratic incumbent Biden faces ...

An Iraqi man has taken the first step in launching UK legal proceedings against British oil firm BP, holding the company partly to blame for his son's death. Hussein Julood sent the company a letter seeking damages on Monday, just over a year after his son Ali Hussein died aged 21. Ali was raised near the town of Rumaila in Iraq.

In 2012, Groningen was hit with a 3.6 magnitude earthquake: the strongest in the history of the ...
